Petaluma Gap Sangiacomo Vineyard Syrah

Bacon fat, juicy, delish.

Flowers and wet stone up front. Settles into a balanced and elegant Syrah. I liked the up front boldness better than the rest... but very nice.

Beefy, spicy nose. Olive tapenade and new leather on the palate. Finishes with plums and berries, along with faint anise. Very well made. Leave this for another 2 years.

Totally agree with @TheSkip and nice nice Syrah

Oh man!

Sangiacomo's best Syrah? There's a good chance.

Again, @Mike Smith was kind enough to open this Syrah during our tasting, a Syrah that he himself hadn't tasted since it had been in bottle! What a treat to enjoy it with him. This was our dinner wine of the evening and it was bold enough to hold its own with steak. Dusty, slight spice, berry medley Syrah. This was my first Syrah from Mike and I know I will definitely be buying more.

Lots of baby fat to shed. Coming to a release letter near you in the Spring.

Olive tapenade, red fruit slurry. Excellent!
